Some assembly required

Yeah, that’s right, while we were at Ikea yesterday, we bought a little toy box from the kids section for the dogs’ toys.

I think that purchase was the official moment when worlds collided: Cindy and I always joke that we don’t need human kids because that would just take away from us spoiling the “dog kids.”

And look what’s gone and happened: We’re wandering the kids section of our nearest Ikea looking for a toy box…for our dogs.

I didn’t think I’d ever be one of those people who thought of their dogs as kids. But in this economy, I’d rather pay $14.99 for a toy box for my dog-kids then start a college fund for my kid-kids.
